Data growth is not only driving up storage costs, but also transforming performance and efficiency requirements for storage systems. If you're looking for new storage solutions that can address today’s needs for managing large amounts of data, its time to take a more detailed look at the advantages of a multicore, multiprocessor storage system. Oracle and Intel, as part of a broad strategic alliance, have been working together to ensure that Sun ZFS Storage Appliances are optimized for performance and efficiency thanks to the Intel® Xeon® processors and the Oracle Solaris operating system that these sytems are architected around.
